(hereinafter called "Manufacturer").
PURPOSE The Manufacturer desires to be authorized by L&I to self-inspect the units it manufactures for sale within Washington State pursuant to WAC 296-150R-0010, rather than incur the increased delay and expense of obtaining state inspections of each individual unit. L&I desires to enforce its regulations regarding Recreational Vehicles in an efficient and expeditious manner, for the protection of the consuming public, without unduly impeding the business of the Manufacturer. Therefore, the parties agree it is in their mutual benefit to formally undertake a State Plan (self inspection) program.
In consideration of the terms and conditions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITIES The Manufacturer Shall: 1. Comply with all current and future Washington Administrative Code provisions applicable to
Recreational Vehicles, provide to L&I any and all current quality control manuals to include any amendments thereto as they occur- pursuant to WAC 296-150R-0400. These manuals must contain specific management procedures by which the undersigned Recreational Vehicle Manufacturer’s manager will assure that inspections will be carried out.
2. Provide to the department, for its approval prior to delivery in the State of Washington, design plans for each and every model of Recreational Vehicles intended for sale in the State of Washington. These plans shall be of sufficient detail to assure compliance with all applicable codes or standards.
3. Affix the certification insignia provided by the Department to each of its units prior to the unit leaving the manufacturing facility and entering the State of Washington. By affixing said insignia, the undersigned recreational vehicle Manufacturer certifies to the Department, the dealer, and the ultimate buyer that inspections and tests were conducted by the Manufacturer in compliance with its Quality Control Manual and that the particular unit is in compliance with all applicable codes and standards.
4. Provide to the Department a list of all dealers selling the Manufacturer's recreational vehicle products in the State of Washington.
5. Allow periodic unannounced audits by the Department to the Manufacturer's facility or at dealer's lots pursuant to WAC 296-150R-0700(1). This audit is to ensure that the Manufacturer is complying with provisions of their quality control manual, the WAC rules, and this contract and any applicable standards adopted by regulation.
RV 98C-70 Contract Page 3 of 10 December 22, 2016
6. Pay for the cost of insignias and audits should they occur at the manufacturing facility as well as expenses and fees for any re-inspections that occur as result of non-compliance being found in the Manufacturer's units at the dealer lots.
L&I RESPONSIBILITIES: L&I shall: 1. Inspect the manufacturing facilities for which quality assurance manuals and plans have been
accepted by the department prior to granting approval for the State Plan (self-inspection) process contemplated herein in order to audit the quality control program and production process. All expenses for this initial audit shall be paid by the Manufacturer.
2. At its discretion, conduct un-announced, periodic audits of the Manufacturer's facility. All expenses for L&I audits shall be paid by the Manufacturer.
3. Subject to this agreement’s conditions, allow for a complete self-inspection by the Manufacturer including all tests referenced in the Manufacturer's Quality Control Manual to ensure compliance with said Quality Control Manual and all applicable codes and standards.
4. For a fee paid by the Manufacturer per insignia, allow the Manufacturer to order bulk certification insignias to be affixed to each unit inspected by the Manufacturer under this contract, provided that, a list of previously purchased and used insignias is submitted on the form approved by the department with the application for additional insignias. Each insignia application must be accompanied by a letter listing all approved plan numbers and a statement declaring these insignia's will be attached to units built to these plan approval numbers.
PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE Regardless of the date of signature and subject to its other provisions, this Contract shall begin performance on the date this Contract is executed by both parties, and end on September 1, 2002.
ALL WRITINGS CONTAINED HEREIN This Contract consists of two pages and Attachment A, General Terms & Conditions.
This Contract, which includes all these Terms and conditions, and all attachments and amendments thereto, constitute the entire agreement between the Manufacturer and L&I and no other statements or representations, written or oral, shall be deemed a part thereof. The signatories to this Contract represent that they have the authority to bind their respective organizations to this Contract.
The individual signing and accepting this Contract on behalf of the Manufacturer shall be designated as the officer, partner, or owner who is ultimately responsible for the inspection process and insignia control. By signing below and accepting the terms hereunder, the undersigned Manufacturer declares that the terms of the agreement have been completely read, are fully understood, and are accepted, after complete consideration of respective legal rights.
